According to the occam reference manual, the count can ba an expression, and 
an expression can certainly contain a function. Are you sure that your
function doesn't evaluate to a negative value at compile time. (Although
I'm not sure the occam compiler actually does the obvious thing and evalute
such a function at compile time...)
